Best temp monitoring program? : r/buildapc
January 29, 2018 - No clue why another poster tried to claim itโ€™s been replaced. Still gets regularly updated and is used way more than HWinfo. ... I use Speccy,however, it does install CCleaner without consent, so just remove CCleaner after install. ... I prefer HW Monitor to HWINFO for the simpler UI.

Single tool for efficient GPU and CPU temp monitoring?
Running a new B550 Tomohawk mobo / AMD 5600X / 3070 system. Currently I have CoreTemp for checking CPU temps, and Task Manager > Performance to check the GPU temp. Is there a more elegant solution to monitoring temps? Edit - sorry mods, I only just saw there's a specific Cooling forum, my bad. More on forums.tomshardware.com

March 6, 2024 - Hi jekidwell, and welcome. I use Aida64 for monitoring temperatures and voltages. Its crawling graphs are a great feature. Downside is that it isn't free. I suggest downloading the free trial to see if you like it. While Aida64 is great as a monitor, its stress tests are not that great.

Simple GPU and CPU temp monitoring software | Hardware Canucks
August 12, 2024 - I have AMD gpu so it's built into their software these days. But otherwise for just raw data/logging you can't go wrong with hwinfo ... I've stumbled across open hardware monitor and it allows a really simple widget to be setup pretty easily. It looks like the data that sits there is very customizable, but I think this will do. I've got a CPU temp display on the block and there's a display and flow meter right past the GPU but they're both hard to read when sitting at the desk (it's a massive desk and the computer is on the far corner), so I think this will do.
